FAMILY,
What a move I made! It feels a little weird to leave theAlps and be somewhere without mountains again ha
ha!!! I love Bergerac though, it's like I'm almost back home again(because I
started my mission in Brive !) This week went by too fast. I realized I'm not
used to bikes either....I'm very sore! I guess I'll have a good break from
bikes though, because someone slashed our tires this week :(
I feel like it was a bit shaky this week, being district leader for the first time, and getting used to anew city again... I feel a bit
like a new missionary. I was an expert at Gap, but now I'm blue again ha ha! I
am grateful to have such a great companion though! Elder Willet knows Bergerac
like the back of his hand.... I'm a bit lost sometimes ha ha. He is a great
missionary too, I was so impressed when we got back into our area, he contacted
everyone! I really like that!!!
This week we taught an investigator named Mme. Foucaud, who is very close to accepting a baptismal date. She is almost there! We gave her the program to quit smoking, but she said she needs time to think about it.
We saw a young boy named Guillame Bouchet as well. His parents and younger brother are members, but he is dragging his hills a bit. Baptism isn't his priority. There is some work to be done here!!!!
We almost had three other people engaged with a date for baptism, but they couldn't commit. There is so much potential here in Bergerac! We even have a cool American family that is living here! She is super ready for the Gospel, and she even went all out to decorate her house for Christmas! SPEAKING OF WHICH, dad have you decorated the yard yet? Don't you dare think you can get this one under my nose!
I'm doing well, a little overwhelmed at times with all my new responsibilities, but it's normal I assume. I love my district, I was able to have Thanksgiving dinner with them :) We all went to Perigueux and ate at a fancy restaurant famous for their chicken! Our district is interesting though.... they are a bit crazy...ha ha; What I mean by that is that everyone of their personalities are very colorful. Full of energy and enthusiasm. They started singing the National anthem ofUSA in the restaurant....
gratefully there wasn't a whole lot of people there, but I was a bit embarrassed.
I knew that we should have behaved better, we are disciples of Christ for crying'
out loud! I take responsibility, and have already asked the Lord for
forgiveness. I can't let something like that happen again, our image is so
important! We must be examples everywhere we are, and at all times!
Thanksgiving was fun, but also a lesson learned.
Did I ever tell you that I fasted last thanksgiving? It was sure an experience, but the best thanksgiving I ever had! I'll have to write you about it another time :)
I'm very happy to have such great missionaries in Brive! Elder Caldwell and Elder Prunin are impeccable! Work is moving right on along over there!!!!
Elder Tudor my, Zone Leader, did an exchange with me this week, he is a great Elder. I actually replaced him as district leader here in Bergerac. He trained me on being a district leader and did very well! It is all a bit overwhelming, but I will get a hang of it one day!
So I have a few requests! I need Lindsey's new address! I have a postcard for you Lindsey loo!!! Also could you look up a French lds artist named Jeremie Baldi. He has some really good music that we can listen too. However it is in French so... yeah ha ha. He sings hymns and what not in French..... I think that is all :) I sent you some packages, you should get them in 3-4 weeks. :) I love you all so much, I can't wait to see you again! 8 Months!!!!
GROS BISOUS!!!
